It is rare that an economist turns the house alight - you certainly did so at lunch last week ... the reaction by all present was that of a satisfied gathering. The breadth of the subject matter and the clarity with which you covered issues of significant complexity was exciting to behold.
It was worth waiting four years to get you .. Your thoughtful, comprehensive outline of China and India's spectacular growth trajectories, the economic and political issues they face, and the implications for economies such as Australia, really resonated with the audience of CFOs.
“An outstanding presentation that was lucid, logical and blended hard facts with humour. And Saul comfortably communicated to meet the wide range of ages, occupations and knowledge of our guests”
“We did appreciate the very considerable effort you devoted to preparing a very comprehensive overview of the Indian economy, contrasting it with China and identifying economic opportunities for Australia”
